So use undistributive properyt]
ab+ac=a(b+c)
so factor 24a dadn 28 to find 'a' the common factor
24=2 times 2 times 2 times 3 tiems a
28=2 times 2 times 7
common one is 2 itmes 2=4
a=4
4(2 times3 times a)+4(7)=4(6a)+4(7)=4(6a+7)

Answer: a) 236,000.

b) 2021

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Population Growth The population P (in thousands) of Oriando,Florida from 1980 through 2009 can be modeled by $p = 130e^{0.0205t}$ (1)

where t = 0 corresponds to 1980.

Then , for 2009

t= 2009-1980=29

a. ⇒The population of Phoenix in 2009 = $p = 130e^{0.0205(29)}$

$p = 130e^{0.5945}$

$p =130(1.81212465608)=235.57620529\approx236$

Hence, the population of Orlando in 2009 was about 236,000.

b) Substitute p= 300 in (1) , we get

$300 = 130e^{0.0205t}$

$2.3077= e^{0.0205t}$ (Divide both sides by 130)

Taking Natural log on both sides,

$\ln(2.3077) = 0.0205t\\\\\Rightarrow\ t=\dfrac{\ln(2.3077)}{0.0205}$

$t=\dfrac{0.836251357528}{0.0205}=40.7927491477\approx41$

Hence, The year Orlando will have a population of 300,000 =1980+41 =2021
